When will Stanford University Release Admission decisions 2024:
Applicants will receive decisions by April 9 instead of the originally scheduled April 1, and the enrollment deadline has also been extended from May 1 to May 3 to reflect the delayed timeline. The new timeline reflects Stanford’s “commitment to maintaining a thoughtful and thorough review,” according to the University.
The rise in applicants for admission comes after Stanford’s admit rate for the Class of 2024 rose to 5.19% — the first increase in the undergraduate admit rate since 2004 as a result of a decreased number of applicants. The University did not speculate on the reasons behind the decline, which followed the 2018-19 admissions cycle, where it recorded a record-high 47,498 applications (read more here).
